As spring approaches, towns and cities across the UK begin preparing for one of the busiest periods of the year: event season.


From local festivals and parades to seasonal markets, tourism campaigns, and community celebrations, councils rely heavily on clear, professional signage to bring these events to life. For sign makers and print providers, this period represents a significant opportunity to support local authorities with high-impact outdoor displays.


One common signage formats used by councils but overlooked by sign makers is lamp post banners. Installed along high streets, town centres, and event routes, they help create atmosphere while promoting upcoming events and community initiatives.


To make these installations successful, sign makers need reliable banner materials and mounting hardware that can withstand outdoor conditions. Here are some of the top products currently being used by sign makers working with councils across the UK.


Lamp Post Banner Brackets

Street banners are only as effective as the hardware holding them in place. That’s why spring-loaded lamp post banner brackets have become a preferred solution for councils and event organisers.

Unlike rigid systems, spring banner brackets allow controlled movement during high winds, helping reduce stress on the banner and preventing damage to eyelets or edges. This flexibility also improves safety in exposed environments such as coastal towns or open high streets.

Cast Aluminium Lamp Post Spring Banner Bracket

Our Cast Aluminium Lamp Post Spring Banner Bracket is designed specifically for secure, professional street banner installations.

Manufactured from durable cast aluminium, the bracket system provides a strong and reliable mounting solution for banners displayed on lamp posts and street columns. The integrated spring tension mechanism allows banners to flex in windy conditions while maintaining a clean, tensioned appearance.


This makes it particularly suitable for town centre promotions, seasonal events, festivals, and tourism campaigns.

Key benefits include:

  • Heavy-duty cast aluminium construction for long-term outdoor use
  • Spring tension system that reduces wind strain
  • Designed for professional street banner installations
  • Suitable for councils, retail parks, and event organisers
  • Durable and reusable for seasonal campaigns

For sign makers supplying local authorities, this type of bracket system ensures banners remain secure, professional, and long-lasting throughout the event season.

Banner Hemming Tape

Finishing is just as important as printing when it comes to outdoor banners.

Banner hemming tape reinforces the edges of banners, helping prevent tearing and ensuring eyelets stay secure during installation. For sign makers producing large volumes of street banners for councils, hemming tape provides a fast, reliable method of strengthening banner edges before installation.

This extra reinforcement is especially valuable when banners are installed in high-traffic or windy locations.


Why Councils Continue to Invest in Street Banner Displays

Lamp post banners remain one of the most effective ways for councils to promote local activity. They offer a high-visibility, cost-effective form of outdoor advertising that reaches residents, visitors, and commuters throughout town centres.

Unlike digital advertising, street banners help physically transform an area, creating atmosphere and reinforcing the identity of an event or campaign.

For sign makers and print suppliers, this means continued demand for durable banners, professional mounting systems, and reliable finishing products.


Preparing for the Busy Event Season

As councils begin planning their spring and summer campaigns, sign makers have a valuable opportunity to support these projects with the right materials and hardware.


Reliable products like spring banner brackets, PVC banners, and banner finishing accessories help ensure installations remain secure, professional, and visually impactful throughout the season.

With the right combination of products and planning, street banners can play a key role in bringing communities together and making local events stand out.
